Juan Soto Remains Confident in Mets Playoff Hopes Amid Team Struggles

Juan Soto, despite the Mets losing 16 of their last 21 games, stated his belief that they are "100 percent" a playoff team, emphasizing the need to "play better as a team and try to win more games." While confident, Soto himself went 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in the two games following his 31st homer, currently batting .247 in the first year of his record contract. He underscored the urgency for the team to focus on winning "today" rather than dwelling on the past or future.
